pre cast must have gotten more expensive than laying brick in the last couple years as most projects have switched to real brick
Construction Set to Kick Off For South End Development
“A permit valued at $9,225,798 has been pulled to begin work on a 6-story mixed-use building planned for 1395-1405 Washington Street in Boston's South End. A recent visit to the site showed demo of the former 1 story commercial structure on the site was complete. The new project will include 33 residential units with ground-floor retail/restaurant space and a common roof deck.”

The foundation seems to match the drawings, but I can't figure out how the mansard roof is supposed to work. It looks like they copied the building to the right of this, but it would actually have to be mirrored instead?
This is what was there before which was just demolished about 3 years ago.Imagine having your brain completely unplugged and just operating on limbic reflexes. That’s the status quo of Boston architects.

The million dollar question: Is the Gallows reopening in there?
That would be great but I think the 5 year gap might be difficult to overcomeThe million dollar question: Is the Gallows reopening in there?
The woman who owned the Gallows also started Blackbird Donuts, Banyan Bar and Refuge (nearby), and Sally's Sandwiches. The restaurant group is still called "The Gallows Group." There is capital, question is whether there is interest.That would be great but I think the 5 year gap might be difficult to overcome
I was aware of that but you do make a good point that it’s not outside the realm of possibilities. Imagine if gallows and Stella came back? Peak Washington street right there!
